"I worry every day. My kids have been to the doctor's six times. Yesterday I took my 11-month old and the doctor said he's got blisters on the back of his throat and they don't know why," said Storment.

The kids have been to the doctor's office a whole bunch because of normal childhood checkups. And stop trying to blame your neighbors for your kid's defective throat.

This is why I abhor the current primary care physician system in the US. If we had a single-payer system that allowed her to choose her own doctor, she wouldn't be stuck with a dumb fark doctor who can't diagnose her sick child.

tko78:Blisters on the back of the throat? Chlamydia of the throat? Tell your husband to stop feeding junior the cak...

I hate to admit it, but that was my immediate thought as well.

thisispete:Depending on the kind of fertilisers and pesticides used in the operation, an adverse health reaction from some kind of chemical is credible.

Possibly with fertilizers, though most growers I know use only neem oil as a pesticide, and stay away from harsh chemical fertilizers as it ends up affecting finished product even after a week's worth of flushing. Harsh, chemically-tasting weed is just no good. Your best fertilizers are bat guano and worm castings. Damn near perfect PNK if you're growing in soil.

Flowering cannabis does smell rather strong though, and it is possible that the child has a very sensitive nose and throat. S/he may very well be allergic to cannabis.

No, time for her to go back to kindergarten to learn that when her doctor says "irritation from an unknown source" and tells her to give the kid some cough drops, that doesn't mean that the kid is suffering from some mysterious chemical exposure and there's nothing medical science can do, it means that the symptoms are so easily treatable that it's not worth the effort to identify the irritant.

Thank god for the elemental table because now we're going to have a violent overgrowth of so many "chemicals" that the dumbass will need to know which chemicals grow in the shade and which take full sun. Really. It's getting scary out there, kids, with all these freaks. Who also has children. Even worse.

I wonder how much the mother was paid by the Maricopa-crazies? Or it could be part of Jan unleashing her TomHornaken on those hippy medical marijuana in the same manner he got rid of Mex-American studies.

...or maybe pollen? Gotta be a lot of crops herming out in the heat down there.

If it is an allergy, repeated exposure can worsen the reaction, up to a point of death. Doctor should do the tests, though I don't know if pot(and related "chemicals" such as used in growing it) is part of the standard scratch test... I'm sure something could be arranged.

Quite possible, though after rereading the article my money is actually on the generators that they're using to power the grow. Constantly breathing in gasoline exhaust is never good for you, especially if you're a baby. These guys need to get their power situation figured out and fast.

Something about generators powering grows rubs me the wrong way. I guess burning coal isn't much better. Wish I had a greenhouse.

Oh bullsh*t.

Cpl.D:"My child has an illness from an unknown cause. Therefore, I will blame this on the first thing I don't like."

More likely it's this.; better odds that the baby is reacting to the Febreeze that she's dousing the area with.

Not surprising, really. I had the same problem. My neighbor was using sarin gas and surplus agent orange on his grow. On Tuesdays he would dust them all down with plutonium dust to kill the parasites. Worked pretty well, I guess. All my hair fell out, but my doctor said it was probably the high tension power lines going through our neighborhood.

The good news is the medical maijuanan close by to help ease your symptoms.
